This melt in your mouth, blue cheese made from pasteurized cow’s milk hails from Fethard, Co Tipperary, Ireland. The Grubb family began making this on their farm in 1984 . It is one of the best known of all the Irish farmhouse cheeses. I paired this with grapes as the sweetness explodes in your mouth and combined with the buttery blue, leaves you wanting more.
This cheese from its namesake, Durrus, Co Cork, Ireland is one of the select cheeses that Slow Food recognizes within its Irish Raw Cheese Presidium. It is a semi-soft, rind washed cheese made with raw cow’s milk and traditional rennet. Jeffa Gill has been making Durrus since 1979 and she describes the cheese ‘as a deep complex flavor capturing the elemental nature of this part of Ireland’
It may be a long way to Tipperary but it doesn't have to be when you use 'Cooleeney Farmhouse Cheese' produced by the Maher family in Thurles, Co Tipperary.
The Willems family have been making Coolea on their farm in Macroom, Co Cork since 1979. They moved from the Netherlands to Ireland in the 1970’s. Gouda was impossible to get locally at the time so they wrote home for a recipe and the rest is history. This is a mild, semi firm cheese when young and is intensely full flavored when mature.
Try this wonderful beech smoked cheese from the O’Farrell family in Carrigaline, Co Cork, Ireland. This earthy combination of crab apples and smoked cheese is sure to please.
